What if the plan participant remarries?

Kevin from Irvine, CA asks, "What if the plan participant remarries?"

Pension Evaluators & QDROS Of Troyan, Inc Associates Group answers, "If the divorced Participant remarries before retiring, the survivor benefit usually goes to the new spouse unless the QDRO from the prior divorce requires that the ex-spouse be treated as the participant’s surviving spouse. If the ex-spouse must be treated as a surviving spouse, then the new spouse will not receive survivor benefits when the plan participant dies. Generally, the only way for an ex-spouse to receive survivor benefits is through a QDRO."
